Wireless light show speakers in the spotlight

With its all-new Halo speaker, Creative Labs has succumbed to the trend for illuminated Bluetooth audio peripherals which was spearheaded by JBL and Sony.

Halo by Creative Labs is a portable Bluetooth speaker that not only produces high-quality sound, but also offers a programmable "tunnel" light show that dances and vibrates in tune with your music.

The speaker can generate a dozen lighting effects, and up to 16.8 million colours, which are controlled via a dedicated application, Xpectra Lightshow Control, that runs on both iOS and Android.

As for sound, the Halo is equipped with two full-range drivers and a subwoofer for extra bass. According to the manufacturer, it has a battery life of up to eight hours. The retail price is €69.99 (RM351.89).
